| User ReviewShawn WCanadian production about a man in a small Newfoundland copper mining town who is faced with the reality that the copper mine will be closed rendering the place a ghost town as he fights to save the community. A quality drama with added relevance for Canadians. |
| User ReviewMichael WThe Rowdyman Gordon Pinsent writes, directs and acts in this Newfoundlander based on his novel. Miner fights the shutdown of the local mine and community lifeline as government bureaucrats attempt a relocation of the town's community. Heartfelt film shot on location which captures a small chapter of Newfoundland's history and won a couple Genie awards. |
